Selection of Trichoderma products to enhance the control of loquat white root rot by hot water drip irrigation

Rosellinia necatrix , a soilborne fungus, causes white root rot of loquat trees. Toward preventing the disease by enhancing a 45 °C hot water drip irrigation (HWD) treatment, which activates antagonism by soil fungi, we tested three commercial Trichoderma products and found that a product containing...

Description
Summary:Rosellinia necatrix , a soilborne fungus, causes white root rot of loquat trees. Toward preventing the disease by enhancing a 45 °C hot water drip irrigation (HWD) treatment, which activates antagonism by soil fungi, we tested three commercial Trichoderma products and found that a product containing T. harzianum T-22 most enhanced the control efficacy. Field evaluation confirmed the enhanced efficacy of HWD with the product to cure the disease.
